WHAT'S HAPPENING: WORLD OF SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY?

Social  Security continues to deny 83 percent of disability applications, usually citing lack of medical evidence, or claim that the applicant can perform "some other work." The first appeal, "Reconsideration," has a losing ratio of 89 percent.  The rate of approval at Social Security hearings, however, is 55 percent.  Failure to appeal is almost always a defeat.

The Forsythe Firm, Huntsville, continues to succeed at getting disability cases approved and paid at the appeal level.  Past due benefits back to the original date of disability onset, are usually paid--often amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.

Charles W. Forsythe has helped thousands of claimants get approved for Social Security disability benefits over the last 24 years. It's their area of specialty and they KNOW Social Security law.

"What many people don't understand," Forsythe said, "is that very few claims get approved without appeals.  In fact, the Social Security hearing is now the Number One method of getting an SSDI claim approved and paid."

Forsythe explains that Social Security disability is usually a slow, frustrating process that pays off in the end--IF the claimant goes through all the steps and "hangs on" until the process runs its courseThat course can often take 12 to 24 months.

"It is a process, not a simple act," the disability advocate explains.  Claimants come to us defeated, frustrated and ready to give up," he said.  "We take a claim that has been denied once, twice or three times--and we often get it paid with a judge."

Many people delay hiring a lawyer for their Social Security trouble because they fear the cost.  What people should know is that it costs nothing upfront to get a lawyer to help.  You won't be asked for any money or fees, no deposit, and there's no obligation to pay anything until AFTER your case is approved and your past due benefits are paid. Professional help is risk free for the claimant.  You get a lump sum past due settlement OR you pay no fees.  And all your future monthly Social Security payments are 100% yours.

WHAT YOU WILL BE ASKED AT A DISABILITY HEARING

Most Social Security disability claims will be denied twice:  First at the end of the Application process, and again after the "Reconsideration" process.  The third stop will be a hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). It is here at the hearing level that most SSDI claims are paid.  So, what do you need to know about your Social Security disability hearing?     First, the judge will follow the rules established by the Social Security Administration.  His or her job is to determine whether you meet the particular laws and rules to receive disability payments.  So, it is a legal proceeding where you must prove certain things in order to get paid. Among the things you must prove:  Your insured status with Social Security:  You have worked recently enough and paid into the Social Security trust fund to gain the required "work credits" to support your claim.  You have a severe medical or mental impairment supported by adequa...

CAN YOU WIN YOUR DISABILITY APPEAL WITHOUT A LAWYER?

The Social Security Administration does not require you to have a lawyer to file an appeal or to appear at a hearing.  However, most people heading for a disability hearing will hire a lawyer or advocate to help them.   Studies have shown that you are about twice as likely to win with a lawyer.  A recent study found that claimants with no lawyer win about 30 percent of the time while claimants with a lawyer or advocate win 60 percent of the time.   " He just cooked his own goose." These statistics cover only one aspect of a disability appear--your odds of winning. The other important aspects are time and convenience. If you prepare and adjudicate your own disability appeal, expect to spend 12 to 24 months working on the case.  You will be collecting, reading and submitting hundreds or thousands of pages of medical records.  These records are complex and often difficult to understand.  And you must know how each medical record helps (or hurts) your dis...
